We had an awesome experience Thursday evening, April 26. The day had not started out so well, and with everything going on, the stress level around here has been a bit high. David and I were able to go on a date that night (YEAH!!) to see a couple of the Young Women I work with in a school play. When we got home, we got Zach in bed and I began battling to get Cannon to go to sleep, while David ran to the grocery store to get some milk. There was a knock at the door and I thought it was David with his hands full. So I answered the door and NO ONE was there. At my feet, however, was a large blue plastic "milk crate" filled with STUFF. I looked over the balcony and it was my luck that of course EVERYONE in our apartment complex was leaving at the same time, so I did not get a good look at anyone! I did see a smiling girl, who was looking at me, in the passenger seat of a dark colored sedan pull away, but I don't know who it was. So I picked up the box and brought it inside. In the box was a TON of toys, toy cars, a slinky, a Marble game, water guns, bubbles, blow guns, books (that are perfect for Zach to read), Disney's Robin Hood on DVD, a music CD, a baby onesie, an infant gift set with a towel, wash clothes, onesie, a hat and a $20 gift card for David and I. There was so much stuff, that I'm sure I forgot something on the list (even the picture isn't complete because the kids had been playing with some of the toys). There was also a very thoughtful card signed "Love Us".
It really couldn't have come on a better day, when we needed a "pick-me-up" the most! My kids have been having a blast and keep wondering who it is that loves us so much! David and I are just in awe. Who ever it was, knows us well. They know our situation with David's work (they mentioned it in the card), know we are having another boy. They know what Zach and Cannon like. I have been "doorbell ditched" before, with cookies or a treat of some kind, but now, when I watch Robin Hood with my kids, or play the marble game, I be reminded of some anonymous person, with great timing, who knows and loves us and wishes us well!
We also, haven't seemed be be so stressed since then either. Who ever it is, We love you too! You have NO IDEA what you have done for our family!
